Teide National Park Tour: Which Day to Book
Atlántico Excursiones' coach day from the south or from Puerto de la Cruz: the Roques de García in Teide National Park, then the dragon tree in Icod de los Vinos, Garachico and Masca. Most reviewers in autumn 2026 had about half an hour in the park, and the cable car is not part of the day.
Pick your day
Which Teide National Park Tour?
A Teide National Park tour is one of three days: a coach day that crosses the park and goes on round the island, a cable car tour that takes you up to 3,555 m, or an evening of sunset and telescopes. The coach day we put first is Atlántico Excursiones’ Tenerife: Teide National Park, Masca, Icod & Garachico Tour, from US$65 a person (checked November 2026). Know what it is before you book: a 9-hour day in which the park is one stop of four, about half an hour by most reviewers’ account between September and November 2026, and the cable car is not included.

The Days, What They Cover and What You Pay
The coach day option by option, how long it gives the park, the cable car tour and what winter does to it, the evening tours and the summit.
Where the park is
The park sits in the middle of Tenerife, so every tour starts with a climb from the coast: 52 km by road from Costa Adeje to the cable car base station and 41 km from Puerto de la Cruz. That drive, there and back, is a large part of any Teide day.
The coach day, option by option
| Option | Pickup | Start on the dates we read | Price a person |
|---|---|---|---|
| Departure from Puerto de la Cruz | 17 pickup locations | 9:00 AM | US$65.10 |
| Departure from South Area | 23 pickup locations | 9:00 AM | US$65.10 |
GetYourGuide option prices for one adult on 26 November 2026, 20 January and 24 March 2027, the same on all three dates; checked November 2026.
Some pickups run only on certain days: Los Gigantes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, El Médano and Golf del Sur on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, Ténbel on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The day goes by coach, with up to 35 guests and a guide speaking Spanish, English, German, French or Italian as available. The stops are Teide National Park with the Roques de García, Icod de los Vinos with its dragon tree, Garachico and Masca. Lunch is optional, at a stop that may be in Icod, the park or Garachico, and paid on the spot; the Drago Milenario Park ticket in Icod is extra too.
The cable car is not in the price, and the itinerary leaves no time to use it even with your own ticket. Expect a lot of the day to go on travelling between stops.
How long you get in the park
We read the 350 most recent reviews of the coach day, dated 9 September to 9 November 2026: 239 give five stars and 34 give three or fewer. Of the reviewers who timed the park stop, most put it at 20 to 40 minutes, one on 24 October at 20 minutes counting getting off and on the bus. Two had about an hour, one of them at a restaurant in the park. Several say the coach takes most of the day, that the road to Masca is narrow and winding, and that they would have liked longer at Teide. One on 26 September found the park closed by the weather.
If an hour or more in the park matters more than the north coast, Tenerife Stars' small-group tour from the south spends an hour at the Roques de García in a van of up to 8, from US$79 with at least 2 participants.
If the cable car is the point
Volcano Teide's cable car tour is the day built around the ride to 3,555 m: 7 hours with pickup by area across the island, from US$103, US$103.26 on every date we read. It is rated 4.26 from 6,330 reviews, and the low ones are mostly about the cable car not running: of the 170 with a comment among its 350 most recent reviews (12 September to 9 November 2026), at least 35 say it did not run on their day. When wind closes it, the tour still runs and the cable car’s price is refunded. If you drive yourself, the cable car company sells return tickets on its own site from EUR 43 (checked November 2026): see Teide cable car tickets.
Evenings: sunset and stars
The evening tours watch the sunset from a viewpoint and then set up telescopes. DAS Experience Tenerife SL's evening cost US$44.90 with your own rental car and US$84.18 with pickup on the dates we read; Volcano Teide's evening with dinner is from US$100 with the meal and pickup included. Teide sunset and stargazing compares six of them.
The summit
The last stretch to the summit needs a permit from Tenerife ON, and since 19 January 2026 it costs EUR 15 for most visitors in the 9:00 to 17:00 slots (checked November 2026). The coach, cable car and evening tours here do not include it. The summit permit has the fees, the rules and the guided ascents.
Before you book
- The cable car. It is in Volcano Teide's tour, not in the coach day. The coach day is not for cruise ship guests, wheelchair users or people with limited mobility.
- Shoes and layers. Closed shoes are compulsory on the cable car tour, which asks for warm clothing; the coach day recommends closed shoes and a light jacket.
- The weather. The coach day’s route can change for official alerts, weather and road closures, and the cable car tour warns that winter snow, ice and falling rocks can close the roads: see a Teide tour in winter.
- Cancelling. Every GetYourGuide tour on this page can be cancelled free up to 24 hours before, and you can reserve now and pay later.

Teide National Park Tours: Questions
Which tour, the cable car and its closures, time in the park, the summit permit, getting there and the evening tours.
For the park and the north coast in one day, Atlántico Excursiones' Teide National Park, Masca, Icod & Garachico Tour, from US$65 a person (checked November 2026); it does not include the cable car. To ride the cable car, Volcano Teide's cable car tour is from US$103 with the ticket included. For sunset and stars, DAS Experience Tenerife SL's evening cost US$44.90 self-drive and US$84.18 with pickup on the dates we read.
Only some do. Volcano Teide's cable car tour includes the ticket. The coach days, Atlántico Excursiones' among them, do not include it and leave no time to use it. The cable car company also sells its own tickets online, a return from EUR 43 (checked November 2026). See Teide cable car tickets.
It depends on the tour. On Atlántico Excursiones' coach day, most reviewers between September and November 2026 who timed the stop had 20 to 40 minutes in the park; the rest of the day goes to Icod de los Vinos, Garachico, Masca and the roads between. Tenerife Stars' small-group tour from the south spends an hour at the Roques de García. On the cable car tour, reviewers in September and October 2026 had about an hour and a half to two hours at the cable car stop, queue included.
On Volcano Teide's cable car tour, the tour still runs, an alternative route is offered and you are refunded the price of the cable car only. At least 35 of the 170 reviews with a comment among its 350 most recent (12 September to 9 November 2026) say the cable car did not run on their day, for wind, ice or a technical stop. The cable car company's own tickets follow its terms: a full refund on request after a 90-minute delay, no refund if only the trails are closed. See a Teide tour in winter.
Yes, for the last stretch to the summit, trail PNT 10 Telesforo Bravo, and it is not free for most visitors: EUR 15 in the 9:00 to 17:00 slots since 19 January 2026, booked on Tenerife ON. Residents of Tenerife and children under 14 pay nothing, residents of the other Canary Islands EUR 6 (checked November 2026). The cable car company's page still calls the permit free of charge; the Cabildo's page sets the fee. See the summit permit.
From EUR 43 for a return ticket on the cable car company's own site, and from EUR 24 for the ride up only (checked November 2026). Its prices move with demand and the time of year, tickets are sold online for a set session, and the stay at the upper station is limited to one hour. Volcano Teide's tour with pickup and the ticket is from US$103.
52 km by road from Costa Adeje to the cable car base station, about 53 minutes without traffic by our routing. From Puerto de la Cruz it is 41 km by road. Parking at the base station is free. See how to get to Teide from Costa Adeje.
Yes: TITSA line 342 runs every day from Costa Adeje bus station by way of Los Cristianos and Vilaflor to the Parador, the cable car and El Portillo. We could not read its times or fares, so check them on TITSA's site before you go.
There was in early November 2026. When we read Tenerife ON on 10 November 2026, it carried a notice of restricted access to five Teide trails, the summit trail among them, because of ice and snow, with a declaration of responsibility and safety requirements obligatory. Snow comes and goes, so check Tenerife ON before your day. See a Teide tour in winter.
DAS Experience Tenerife SL's evening, rated 4.7 from 3,794 reviews: US$44.90 with your own rental car and US$84.18 with pickup on the south coast on the dates we read. For dinner included, Volcano Teide's evening with dinner is from US$100. See Teide sunset and stargazing.
